Sending a Lexicon out in search of meaning (4)

 Let a smile be your umbrella! Inclement weather is an obstacle neither in the search for meaning, nor for your excursioneer. Tunnels under the Festung make short work of our venture Westwards...









 The residential, urban environment offers some opportunities - and challenges - to the acquisition of meaning. Signs and symbols abound, but beneath, behind and between are ample places for nuance...









 An unnatural, 'natural' setting...


 Pockets of meaning, sheltered from the elements...

 Very wet now!


 We decide that discretion is the better part of valour, and conclude our walk at the intersection. We have, most importantly, now sought meaning for our lexicon at points from all four corners of Salzburg. Can meaning now be sought elsewhere, and do the same conditions apply? Watch this space!

Sending a Lexicon out in search of meaning (3). Some Object Lessons...


 Today we start outside the Department of Justice...

 Across the bridge...
 Across the road(!)...



 Until we encounter some sites of concentrated meaning! Will the lexicon be able to cope?

 Hidden in the long grass at the foot of a heavy duty meaning-generator!


 Meaning can be found in the bushes too!
 Back to modern civilization and Burglsteinstrasse heading eastwards once more...









 It was evening by now and your excursioneer stops at a local supermarket for supplies. Shop opening hours are strictly observed in these parts...
 Now here is a test for our lexicon - a concentrated meaning kiosk! Let us see what happens...

well just fancy that! Our lexicon is positively vibrating from the other competing lexica and intensity of meaning!

 Shortly afterwards we arrive at the suburban railway station of Salzburg Parsch. The evening is now drawing in and the camera battery is all but exhausted. But today's walk was a most instructive one!
